Ilghazi
Naim al-Din Ilghazi I. bin Artuq (also Ilgazi of Mardin ; † November 1122 in Mayyafaraqin ) was emir of Mardin from 1107 and emir of Aleppo from 1118 .
He was a son of the governor of Jerusalem Ortoq († 1091; from the Ortoqid dynasty ).
Under the Rogers reign of Antioch , the Frankish pressure on Aleppo increased steadily until the population called for help from Ilghazi of Mardin, who took control in 1118 and allied themselves with Tugtakin of Damascus. In 1119 they invaded the principality of Antioch. After the battle of Ager Sanguinis , however, he was pushed back by Baldwin II .
After his death, the inheritance was divided: his older son Suleiman ibn Ilghazi took over Mayyafaraqin, his younger son Timurtash took over Mardin and his nephew Badr ad-Daulah Suleiman got Aleppo. The nephew Balak ibn Bahram enlarged his holdings in the north and added Harran in the south.
